"Basic...Good"
What I like:
Simple look, simple controls, it just plays music
What I don't like:
Charge time, not 100% portable due to docking station
Review:
Good design and very small. The clip is an excellent part of the design. I like to go running and this is ideal - clip it on and press play. That's all I required for my portable needs. I can’t run with an 80GB video iPod can I?!
So if you are looking for something that needs to be no hassle when you are really on the go, the new shuffle is exactly what you require.

Has an impressive range of features, but its unresponsive touchscreen is annoying

Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface
Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB)
Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
